PEST OF PARIS PAPERS.
A Patent Medicine Mans IngenIou and Bold system of PuHery.
 Tatf

Paris Letter.
 French newspapers are fraught with the most unexpected pitfalls for the un- wary reader, in the shape of advertise ments, which are audaciously inserted on the front page, and which sometimes take the semblance of a brief article by lively chroniqueur, a sensational item of intelligence, or even an important political announcement. This bold and in genious system of puffery has been carried on with such braz- en persistence of late that hardly any one talks of aught in Paris just now save the much vaunted merits of certain quack medicines.
 The name of these nostrums has become g byword in the mouths of Parisians and the anti bilious medicine identified with the gallant officer who performed the famous ride to Kniva has been plete- ly cast in the shade by the journalistic compilers of quack salving ''copy" in this capital. The advertisers do not stop for anything. They have subsidized some of the most popular papers, and have for the first time utilized the magical name ent moment is a mighty one to conjure with.
 Everybody is sure to be entrapped into reading about the generals contemplated reforms in the army, unmindful of the snare which awaits them at the end of the paragraph, wherein is stated with the most consummate complacency and imper- tuble calm that one of the most important projects suggested by military doctor to the popular chieftain, who is looked upon as the hope of France, is the dosing of his armed hordes with the eternal medicine of which everybody has heard ad nauseam during the past month. While admiring the energy of the ingenious merchant who of season. one cannot keep from wishing that he would transfer his serio- comic composition to the columns devoted to ordinary examples of the art of puff fnQ.

SHOP GIRLS, HOTEL.
How WorkIngwemen's Home Was
 Established in New York.

How a WorkIngwemen's Home Was
 Established i'm New York.
 From the New York Mail and Express.1
 There is a workingwomen's hotel in opera tion in New York city, which was started by the capital of shop girls, which is run by shop girls and which accommodates shop girls. It keeps a roof over the heads of some seventy inmates, and it never asks the work ingwoman to barter her independence for a home. A sturdy, brown haired American girl of twenty-five or whereabouts has been the head and front os the undertaking from the start, and the other day she gave me an outline of the scheme. ''There are three of us," she said, land we came to the city to- gether couple of years ago. Father left us five hundred dollars apiece and beyond that
 we each had two hands and nothing more.
 We had no trade; nobody at home had ever thought of our needing one, and we were unused to work of any kind. We drifted into the shops of course. Every girl with one good gown and who knows how to comb her hair does that in this city to day.
 ''1 earned five dollars 8 week and the oth- CTS had four dollars week at the start, and we lived like some thousands more. That means top floor bedroom, gas jet, a tin pail, bakers bread and tea. We had to have car fare, we had to have clothes and the
 bread and butter had to shift for them. selves."
 Just when she began to think of other possibilities this energetic piece of feminine humanity told me she did not know. A scheme had been in her mind almost from the start. 'I was sure, as soon as the idea came to me" she said, ''that if I could once find the right sort of house, in the right part of the city, and manage the housekeeping as cleverly and carefully as they do back in the country, could contrive decent sort of home living for my sisters, for myself and for good many women beside at rates that shop girls can afford to pay.
 1.-The difficulty was about risking our little capital. It didn't earn much for us in the savings bank, but it was all we had you know, and we had never touched penny of it, no matter how shabby we went or how hungry we grew. I was behind tho hand kerchief counter and one of my sisters sold stockings and the other buttons in one of the New York stores. There were seven hun dred women about the establishment. and we talked the matter up mornings and nights with everyone that we knew. There was a literary society that met every week and we brought it up there, and in two or three of the girls social clubs beside. There were plenty of girls who lived at home with their
 parents, but we found fifty or more who jumped at the chance we offered them and | were continually urging us to go ahead with l the scheme. Finally we began househunt- | ing, not all sure whether we meant to take a place, or even if we found one to suit us ol l not. We were staggered by the city rents as | matter of course, and more than once gave | up the whole plan in despair. We felt like 1 8 trio of gamblers, and not at all like the confident business women we had been al l the outset, when we finally paid down the

LrNDoHvILLE, Orleans Co., N. r.,


April 2, 1885.
About q year ago, ! imprudently stepped
on the Hudson River cars while they were
In motion. In trying to save myself from
. fearful fall wrenched my back ter
ribly. The next day could not walk,
and suffered pain from my neck to my
heels. Various applications were made,
but nothing which was done absted my
suffering. Being anxious to get up and
attend to business, determined to place
three ALLcocK's Porous PLAsTERs, one
above the other, on my back. In about an
hour and q half they caused considerable
itching. The pain and soreness sensibiy
decreased, and l rested pretty well that
night. The next morning the itching be-
gan to be quite severe under the plasters:
To get some relief. had my back well
rubbed crossways over the Plasters. ]
was surprised within two hours after
wards to find the pain and soreness almost
gone. l stayed in bed that day: and the
morning afterwards got up and attend
to business. O. Y. PETTMAN.
